Print on Demand. Lieferbar innerhalb von 7 bis 10 Tagen

So many people are leaving the church today because of its hypocrisy, bigotry, and intellectual dishonesty. Such ""heretics"" find themselves in exile, wondering if there is anything worth holding onto regarding Christianity and faith. The answer is: Yes, but probably not in the way you think. A Survival Guide for Heretics reveals that the scandalous heart of Christianity is about the death of religion and the resurrection of a new way of living in the world called the kingdom of God. Drawing upon the fields of psychology, philosophy, and Radical Theology, this book guides readers step by step through their own spiritual journeys and reveals how they got where they're at and how to move forward. Along the way, Aaron Van Voorhis addresses some of the hardest questions perplexing Christians today and offers some surprising answers. As a pastor, Aaron uses his personal story and the story of his church as examples of how Christianity might be embodied in the twenty-first century. Deeply informed by the work of Peter Rollins and John D. Caputo, among others, A Survival Guide for Heretics is a very accessible and necessary book for anyone struggling with their faith.

Aaron Van Voorhis is the lead pastor of Central Avenue Church in Glendale, California. He holds a BA in biblical studies from Lipscomb and an MDiv from Fuller Seminary.
